Well, the ones I've heard are:
- cocoa butter/cocoa cream which made specialy for stretch marks (they might be expensive)
- Emu oil/Emu cream - search it up on website
- Olive oil
- Vitamin E (either eaten or cream)
- Avoid too much sun
- and laser treatment.
For cream, my friend told me to apply them 10 times a day at least and massage them so they'll absorb into your skin.
One woman also suggested a herbal medicine, but I don't think that'll be available in the USA.

You should defiantly try StriVectin, it's very expensive but works like a dream.
A stretch mark is basically a tear in the skin, StriVectin works to repair the skin by thicking the tear and visibly reducing the mark made on the skin.
It can be purchased at Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and all Space Nk stores. If those aren't local to you have a look at the StriVectin web page.
Good luck

All the creams in the world will not take a stretch marks away. It might ligten it but the damage is already done to the skin. About the only thing you can probably do is surgery and that is costly.

If you have stretch marks there is no magical cure you cant get rid of them you will always have them, but they do fade in time in to silvery lines with exposure to the sun and try using a cocoa butter moisturiser.

there really isnt any although claimed . The thing is the skin has been stretched and torn so nothing can absorb in that pigment anymore not tanning as it will only make them white in time tho they fade lighter but use a concealer waterproof one if in pool or out..

Use anything containing coco butter- if you also lost alot of weight- try gaining a lil more and excercise to turn extra weight into muscle- thatl'll help- also time will help 5-10 years they fade

Vitamin E essential oil is great...dilute it with a carrier oil like baby oil...Both oils combined would cost less than £10 in Britain (vit E oil abt £7.50 from herbalist, baby oil less than £2 from Boots)
